Can Roma Extend Unbeaten Olimpico Run?

Roma have lost just one of their previous seven in all competitions. Giallorossi are unbeaten in three since a 3-1 Coppa Italia reverse to AC Milan. Last time out, a Matias Soule goal gave them a 1-0 away league win at Parma.

Since suffering four consecutive league and cup losses in January, Porto have put together a six-game undefeated run. However, four of those have been draws, including the first leg of this Europa League play-off.

After successive stalemates with Rio Ave, Sporting Lisbon, and Roma, the Dragons returned to winning ways last week with a hard-fought 1-0 away victory at Farense in the Primeira Liga. That was their first league triumph since December.

Roma have had an upswing in fortunes since the experienced Claudio Ranieri took over, unbeaten in nine in Serie A. Since losing at Como, the club from the Italian capital have won six and drawn three.

Last week’s matchup was the first meeting between the sides since they locked horns in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in the 2018-19 season. Porto went through to the quarter-finals with a 4-3 aggregate win.
